Were the banana weights ever used on a 445? If so what sort of bracket was used?

Yes the Banna weight can be used on a 445 with a MM made bracket. I have one on mine.

Do you happen to have a picture of that? I'd like to see how the bracket looks so I can try to find one or fabricate one myself. Thanks for the help.

This is the only picture I have. will try and get a better one. The bracket used is one that was made by MM in a real large press. The bracket is one piece and alone weighs about 100#.

Note it is upside down if it was mounted on the tractor.
